GP4 Manager Game

IMPORTANT ADVERTISEMENT ABOUT INVESTMENTS:

We want to reward to the managers that constantly invest in their cars (bhp or failure).
So we have decided to increase yours engine power, or decrease failure chance, depending on yours past investments.
So I go to make any ecuation or logical progression to calculate how much modify those values.
The more you invest, the more you will improve yours cars in the medium term (I think every 3 races).
Then I will report which will be the formula in which it will change these values.
I will send to every manager its settings after every increase.

Edit:
The changed values will appear in round 4,7,10,13 and 17
The way to reward will be the next:
"For engines, to the whole BHP investments done in the 3 previous races, we will apply 10% to it, this percentage will be the one that we will increase in BHP for next GP and it will be your base perf for the following GPs.
For Failure chance, same as engines, we will decrease 50% of your Failure Chance invested in."

AG Racing Press Conference:

A strong performance by Jenson to get the 6th fastest time in free practice. Also, Robert performed well to secure 13th place being only 1 second behind the leaders, despite some set up issues with his tyres. We're looking forward to the qualifying session where we expect both drivers to be well placed for the race.

18th and 20th even with 36 odd extra bhp!

It's because you had the last choice engine but with this new plan myself and mariano have means the racing will be even better.

Best Regards,


Mike.

Each driver has an ability range, therefore his perfomance will vary in each GP, it will change in +/-

Just to clarify, for example we've invested 100 points on BHP (originally 750) and 100 on failure (original say 2000) over rounds 1-3. Does that mean from Round 4 onwards, R&D improvements mean that our base BHP and failure are now 760 and 1950?

EXACTLY


If it works, we must say to Bernie that implements this in the real F1, in order to make it more equitable.

ALONSO: I'm jappy with de result and we have a good race balance and a good strategy tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

Webber: It's very tight, but I'm happy overall with a top 6 position - but we're optimistic for a good race.

Fongu: I'm delighted with a good team performance, we hope to have a good strategy to get both our guys on the podium tomorrow.

Fisichella: ''I'm a bit dissapointed as in the first sessions I was running in front. Happily Ralf could set a good time to keep the team performance high and we shall see in the race what happens. The car feels good and thats also how I feel about the race''.

Schumacher [R]: ''Wow a top-5 classification is really not what I thought at the begin of the weekend as it wasn't going superb the first sessions, but then the car started to feel great and I improved every session what brought me a good starting position for the race''.

Maikel: ''For the first race I almost can't be happier with what we reached so far, I really feel good about the race and I think Ralf can hold his position and Fisico will overtake some cars as he got the right skills''.

Gusgus Motorsports Press Release :

Felipe Massa (Pole Position, 1:37.239) :

"WOW ! It's simply AWESOME ! I am very pleased to get the pole for my first race with Gusgus Motorsports. The car is bloody fast, as I also got the second best time during last pratice, thanks to the team who worked hard to improve it. As a result, the balance is perfect, the grip is good, and the tyre wear is satisfying. Now, I can assert that we can take the checkered flag at the end of the race. See you in the podium !"

Nico Rosberg (11th, 1:38.598, +1.359) :

"First of all, i want to congratulate Felipe for his pole, his best flying lap was completely amazing ! For me, it has been a difficult day, despite a good progression from 15th to 11th. We tried to see what to improve to get a car as fast as Felipe's, but we found no way to do this. The balance is excellent, it's just a lack of performance. Hopefully it can enable me to take some points to help the team, which as always did a great job."

Marc "Gusgus" Lucio, Team Principal :

"Knowing that the team have a car on pole with the great driver Felipe is for a Formula One race is a great feeling ! I have to thank all the people from the team, from McLaren, Honda, Michelin and Mobil to their role in this good performance. The next goal is for sure the win, but a podium will be also great. Nico has done well, he begins to feel good with the car, as he progressed since Friday Morning."

(Sorry for the double post, but it has nothing to do with the press realease)
Hey, FERG, maybe you can do your results with the true font used on TV (called digital and coming with GPxPatch), and with the bars used by GPxPatch (the update made by sveni is very well made, see this post : [www.grandprixgames.org])
